<p>OK--last post by me. I don't know of any doctor that would sign off on a school athletic physical form to allow a hemophiliac to wrestle. They may sign off for NON-CONTACT sports but wrestling doesn't fall into that category. To your question--Do average students apply to top schools? Yes, they do but there is a RANGE to the average student. Those in the UPPER range of average with substantial application info may have a slight chance but most reality based average students understand that to send out an application to a reach school should be looked at as nothing more than buying a lottery ticket. You trained with the Navy Seals?---You're either delusional or stretching the truth again. The only one you are impressing with the House of Respresentatives hook is yourself. Your Dad works there, so what. Many people work there--secretaries, food prep, custodians, interns, mailroom, etc. Based on your responses to the advice people have given you, your immaturity shines through. Good luck getting into college. More importantly, good luck staying in college once you get there.</p>
<p>PS--RE: guaranteed admission to Univ. of Oklahoma. You're mistaken. If you are out of state non-resident (assuming you live in Michigan) you need an ACT of 26. Check the link below.</p>
<p>point i was trying to make was 24 ACT isnt below average as for the maturity thing, you let me worry about that and if you want to post something answer the question respectfully and dont trash me in your response. THAT is really immature</p>
<p>A score of 24 is a below average for the schools you are looking at. Of course it is a bit of higher than the national average, but is severely lacking for "top schools."</p>
<p>Aw, dude... Your scores are above average, significantly so. But they aren't really in the range for CC defined top schools, though they can certainly get your hypothetical average kid into a really great school for him/her. </p>
<p>Do you have a high class rank? That could actually be a big help. And being, like, the best wrestler in the country can definitely tip the scales in your favor. </p>
<p>Seriously though, I'd look at some schools with lower ACT and GPA average, fall in love with them, and laugh forever at us neurotic CC kids.</p>
<p>(singing) Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends?...(/singing)</p>
<p>Seriously, why does everyone like to argue so much. It's like this: People with average scores apply to top schools. Whether they get accepted or not, different question (and not the one OP asked).</p>
<p>Sorry aranyria, many kids = neurotic. However, coming from a small city in the Midwest, I wish this academic competitiveness was present where I live. I mean I have guidance counselors telling me, "Do NOT retake your ACTs, there's no point" because that's the way things are around here.</p>
<p>Of course I can't speak for OP, but personally, I think many CC kids have a way of comparing kids who join ECs for applications and people who lead a normal, "I go to school because they tell me to" high school career. Personally, I would love to be acknowledged as a person who as just as capable of having the same achievements as most CC kids, but up until a few months ago, I didn't know kids were supposed to.</p>
<p>So, I guess what I'm trying to say is: Don't shoot anyone down because they are "average", because to a lot of communities, being average is good. And maybe it takes leaving that environment (and attending a very competitive school) to learn that. That's what I'm doing: trying to gain acceptance (and good FA) from a competitive school and an environment that I wasn't aware of until the end of my junior year. Be nice.</p>
<p>BTW: (totally off topic) I'm thinking about using that idea as an essay of some sort, but it has the potential to sound like complaints.</p>
<p>OP -- apply. Who's stopping you?</p>
